Seeking Glory is a powerful story that won't be forgotten. It's the story of a middle-aged woman, Kate who gets a shock when she finds out her missing daughter is very ill in the hospital in San Francisco, far away from her town on the Cape. She hasn't seen or heard from her in ten years, after she left home as a teenager. Now, she was dying in a hospital. What follows is a dramatic story of discovery, as Kate finds out Ally has a young child named Glory. It's a compelling tale as we see the mystery unfold of how her daughter and granddaughter ended up in San Francisco, a story of cults and trauma. I highly recommend this book, because the people in the book are so real, and the relationships are so full of heart, and so much happens within the pages.

Seeking Glory by Patricia Hamilton Shook is a captivating book that pulls readers into a story about relationships, loss, and finding one's way back home. Kate is an older woman, living her life in Cape Cod, running her curiosity shop the Sea Witch with her business partner when one day…she gets that phone call that no parent wants to get. Her estranged daughter is in a hospital very sick and the daughter has been asking for her. Kate drops everything to get to her daughter, tragically to only get there to say good-bye. She also learns that her daughter had a child and that that child is now her responsibility. Kate is heartbroken by the loss of her daughter, but she has to be strong for the grandchild that now needs her. Kate is determined to do her best, but she also wants to know what her daughter Allison never told her…where she was for all those years and what happened to her after she left home?
Seeking Glory is the first book that I have read by Patricia Hamilton Shook and this author does an amazing job pulling me fully into the storyline. When the story first began I was a bit confused with the prologue, but as the story goes along it comes together with a piece at a time and I couldn’t put this book down. Before I knew it I was halfway through the story and eager to learn what was going to happen next. My heart goes out to Kate as she revisits memories of her past – both her childhood memories with her own mother and then her memories of being a parent with Allison as she was growing up. I get the sense at times that Kate is hard on herself for the dysfunction that is prevalent throughout her life from the failures of past relationships in her life. My heart goes out to her because I know that she should not shoulder the entirety of the blame in any of the situations.
I truly appreciate the relationship that she builds with her granddaughter Glory. The way that the relationship between them develops and grows is so endearing. The air of mystery that the author weaves into this story is also expertly done. The author uses Glory to drop little hints as well as a couple of old photos that Kate finds. The characters in this story are so realistic that you can see this story playing out in your mind as you read it.
There is nothing that I don’t like about this book. It is so well-written and it was hard for me to put it down. When I first picked this book up I was curious about it but hesitant at the same time. It was a step out of the norm of what I read, but it was well worth it. Piece by piece, like a puzzle, this book comes together to reveal a beautifully drawn picture that tells a heartbreaking but in the end a truly heartwarming story.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you enjoy novels that you can immerse yourself in and see playing out in your mind’s eye then this is the right book for you. If you enjoy stories with realistic characters then I encourage you to pick this book up. The author will captivate you with her descriptions and warm your heart with her spotlight on hope, never giving up, and healing.

My sincere thanks to Outskirts Press, NetGalley and Patricia Hamilton Shook for the chance to read and review Seeking Glory. In this time of Pandemic house arrest, it was wonderful to have and enjoy a book as interesting and fast-paced as Seeking Glory. I simply devoured it.
Glory is a four year old whose mother, Ally, has died of sepsis. She is unable or unwilling to speak when she is placed with her grandmother, Kate. Kate, the owner of a gallery and shop on Cape Cod, had been summoned to a San Francisco Hospital by a social worker to take custody of Glory.
Kate brings the child back with her to the Cape and integrates her into her life there. She seeks out psychological help for the silent Glory.
It is clear that the author knows her stuff. When Kate takes her to a therapist she uses puppet play with the mute child to determine what has caused her unwillingness to talk, a usual method in such cases.
Perhaps less authentic is the depiction of Glory less as a severely traumatized child than an unbelievably easy and well-behaved one. Be that as it may, the reader can relate to both Kate and Glory. In Kate's quest to find the backstory of Ally's fate and Glory's trauma, she successfully plays detective to get answers.
Very gripping and readable, Seeking Glory is worth reading even when you are not quarantined.

This is a wonderful debute. Kate get a call that her daughter Ally is in hospital on the otherside of the country. She haven't seen her daughter in 10 years. Of course Kate drops everything and goes to see her. Not everything goes as she thought it would and the events lead to a search about what happened. The prose is beautiful and the characters feel like real people. There were a lot of twist and turns that kept the story interesting. The ending came too sudden and it felt like it left me hanging.

This book from Netgalley was such a disappointment. The prologue was interesting and showed some promise, but once Kate was introduced in chapter 1, it was downhill from there. Kate is not very likable, judgmental, and a bit dense. She continually shares too much information with some people, and not enough with the ones who can actually help. She is closed off and unwilling to share herself with others, and seems unable to access her own emotions without blaming others or providing ulterior motives for their actions. From the start, it is obvious that she should not be seeking Glory’s father, but she is obstinate, despite warnings from others. In fact, she retorts: "I'm well aware that if I found her father, he could take her away, and I might never see her again. Nevertheless, I feel Glory's father should know where she is, that he has a right to be a part of her life if he wants to be. And I don't know that he was abusive or that Ally was trying to get away from him. I don't know why Ally did what she did. I just don't think I should take anything for granted. I think both Glory and I will be better off knowing the truth instead of hiding from it."
I think part of the problem is that this book tried to be too many things. It could have just been a mystery/thriller, but the author decided to throw in some vague romance as well as try to turn it into literary fiction. Discussions of religion were perfunctory—the type of thing you might expect from college students just testing out their beliefs. Naturally, there is some discussion of cults, but this doesn’t dissuade Kate from trying to locate Glory’s father. As a main character, Kate is annoying and not very sympathetic. Although I cared about Glory, probably simply because she was a child, I didn’t much care about anyone else. Characters were two-dimensional and insignificant. It was all about Kate, and I began to understand why Ally got the hell out of there the moment she could. Also, and this is just one more reason to dislike this book, there were way too many dangling particles. The ending was abrupt and not in the least edifying. I kept trying to turn the page, but it was an ebook and clearly, there wasn’t any more to it. I’m giving this two stars because it was readable, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

When Kate receives a call from a hospital on the other side of the country that her estranged daughter has been admitted and is asking for her, she drops everything and immediately flies out to San Francisco. There's no denying that she hopes to finally heal the rift between them.
Unfortunately, Kate arrives at her daughter's bedside just moments before she dies, her last word "Glory".
With the irrevocable loss of her daughter, Kate finds a troubled granddaughter. Picking up the meagre pieces of the life Glory and her mother shared, Kate is faced with more questions than than answers. But the indisputable truth is that perhaps Kate needs Glory as much as or maybe more than, Glory needs her grandmother.
Interestingly, the picture Shook paints of Kate isn't one that's sympathetic to me. Much as I'm usually predisposed to like the main character in a novel, liking Kate didn't come automatically. She doesn't quite trust her best friend and business partner to run their shop well without her. Twenty years later, she still has no real friends in the town she moved herself and Ally to in her bid to start fresh after a divorce.
But, faced with the death of her estranged only daughter, and finding herself with a four year old granddaughter, Kate is determined to find out where Ally was and what happened to her in the ten years between leaving her home in anger, and Kate finding herself with a troubled four year old who needs her now.
Shook's story is engrossing. As Kate sets out to find the truth, she is determined to help her granddaughter. It is perhaps a chance to redeem herself for what she sees as her failure with her own daughter.
I spent the day in company of this book. I simply could not stop reading till I too knew Ally's story and that Glory would be safe. I found the ending a bit open though. There are many unanswered questions still, though the bigger mystery is resolved. I'm not sure I'm happy with the way the story simply stopped. I'm hoping there will be a sequel.

“Seeking Glory” is author Patricia Hamilton Shook’s debut novel and I can honestly say it is an amazing fast-paced read, full of twists, surprises and intrigue.
Kate Larue, divorced and estranged from her daughter Ally, is the co-owner of Sea Witch, an upscale boutique on Cape Cod. When she receives a call from a social worker at San Francisco General stating her daughter is in critical condition, her life will never be the same. When her daughter passes away, Kate finds out she is a grandmother of a non-speaking four-year-old granddaughter, Glory.
Returning to Cape Cod, Kate tries to balance work and gaining the trust of Glory while at the same time trying to find treatment for her and discovering where her daughter had been for the past ten years. Kate living a very independent, somewhat lonely life begins to analyze her relationship with her daughter and her divorce from her ex-husband, David. Kate has little to go on - a birth certificate and a couple of photos from Ally’s apartment but she is determined to find out all she can about her daughter’s past life to find closure for herself as well as help her granddaughter.
The author provides such detailed descriptions of Cape Cod readers will feel the breeze on their face as they discover the nuances of tourism, eateries and boutiques. Her ability to provide Kate with the relentless pursuit of discovering more about her daughter puts readers side by side with her as she enters the hospital, and investigates a yoga wellness center, and a possible cult commune while dealing with her aggressive ex-husband.
Shook’s background in psychology certainly lends itself well in this page-turning read. There are several subplots intertwined throughout the book which lead up to a shocking end. I appreciated that she addressed spiritual loss but did not go overboard on it.
Overall, I highly recommend “Seeking Glory” by Patricia Hamilton Shook for the suspense and finding oneself with regards to relationships, and friendships, while still maintaining independence. This is a fast-paced, can’t-put-it-down read on soul-searching, loss and reconciliation. Well done.

It has been 10 years since Kate saw her daughter, and, suddenly, she gets a call from the hospital saying they have her. As her daughter lays there in the ICU, only one word was barely spoken: Glory.
That night in the hospital, Kate lost her daughter and gained a granddaughter named Glory, a 4-year old that’s never spoken. Could Kate take care of her?
Kate learns what she never knew about her daughter and Glory. Well-written, sorrowful, and enlightening. There some lag over some menial scenes that might’ve been more than necessary with its filling background and overflowing descriptions.
As you continue, you hope to get to the unraveling mystery of Glory. Who was her father? Why her mother ran away? Why doesn’t Glory speak? There’s a lot of reminiscing involved as the characters trudge through the day-to-day’s of a new life confined within the long grieving process. Some days felt the same while others brought something new.
All about a woman’s grief, loss, and quest for recovery.
A pretty good read!

I would especially like to thank Outskirts Press, Inc. and the Netgalley website for allowing me to read this book.
In reading this book one learns that life is never static, that when you think you have all your control, everything breaks down and the life you once had goes in unimaginable directions. This book is about loss, healing, estrangement and reconciliation.
It is about the young Kate who is in shock, her missing daughter is in the hospital in San Francisco. It's been ten years since she last saw her as a teenager. And she is dying.
A book read in one sitting, I was so hooked on the story, so moving, addictive, captivating, full of suspense and twists and turns with very endearing characters. I love the author's writing.

In this book, I find that the author draws on her expertise as a psychologist and her experiences in Cape Cod to weave together an emotional story featuring self-reliant, 53 year old, business owner, Kate LaRue, who finds herself plunged into a journey of uncovering truth. To do so, Kate must honestly confront her past, her present, and every part of herself. I appreciated the scenery of the Cape, which was painted with descriptive beauty, while expectantly watching Kate unlock mysteries that lead to a heart pounding ending. Well done. Very thought provoking and enjoyable.

What a wonderful debut novel. I look forward to future books by this author and the setting in Cape Code, MA was another bonus. I recognized many of the towns and sights mentioned from my previous trips to the Cape.
You will be drawn into the story from the first page. You will begin a journey with Kate as she discovers she is a grandmother. There are threads of love, loss, anger, hurt, the confrontation of past and present, and the complexities of family relationships. The twists and turns will keep you invested in the story and have you anxiously awaiting the unexpected conclusion.
Thank you to Bookoutre and Outskirts Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Haunting Story, Fantastic Ending
This is a great story. It could be called women's fiction. The plot is haunting in a heartache sort of way. I could put myself in the position of so many of the characters in the story. I am still spinning from the surprise ending. There are so many places in the book that I just wanted to cry. It would make a great movie. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

Not the usual type of book I read. I really didn’t understand Kate’s need to find out what had happened to cause Glory not to talk. Couldn’t relate to the idea that knowing would make it easier to help her.

This was Snook's first book and I hope not her last. It was very well written. I loved the detail of Cape Cod and how the story unfolds.
Kate a divorced and business owner, gets a phone call from San Francisco. Her Daughter Ally is gravely ill and Kate needs to go there. She had not heard from Ally for 10 years. After Ally dies, Kate finds that she has a granddaughter named Glory, who does not speak. Kate takes Glory home and balances work with gaining Glory's trust and trying to find treatment. Kate goes on a journey to find out where Ally has been for the last 10 years and try to find out why Glory will not talk. It is not an easy journey, but necessary for Glory's future.
I enjoyed the book and look forward to a book from Snook soon.

Good story
I have only one mild complaint about the book and it’s about the ending. Without indulging in any spoilers, I just think that, after building the story up really nicely, the author ended it too abruptly. It’s like walking through a really nice house and then getting to the last room, running through it, and slamming the door on your way out.
